Age

[aphael.livejournal.com]

This is my first post here besides an introduction a few months back... I apologize if this has come up before - I didn't really see it when searching through the tags, but I'm terribly unobservant.

My question is how do people feel about age?  I'm incredibly fatalistic and I have this notion that finishing transition after like 25 is almost pointless, because I've lost most of my prime years.  I'm 22 now, and I started hormones two years ago, but have since had to stop because I ran out of money and haven't been able to pursue any other aspect of transition (Education is a cruel mistress).

Has anyone else had these worries?  Is there any advice or encouragement to give?  It seems like a pretty shallow concern now that I type it out, but I still wanted to field it.

Thank you!
